Same problem for me. Two orders are shipped, but no tracking system acknowledges their existence. One shipped Saturday 10/12 and the other shipped Friday 10/18. I'm in no hurry, but like to see some movement.

Both orders are still MIA. Checking the tracking systems daily and haven't seen anything. Both shipments could still be sitting on fasttech's loading dock for all I know. Not going to place another fasttech order until these two arrive in my mailbox.

This is a public prayer request. Please pray for God to have mercy on my pitiful soul.
I just saw the credit card statement and my wife will soon be reviewing as well. My untimely death is immanent.
LOL! I know what you mean. I actually caught myself having my sister order something off of Ebay because I didn't want my wife t see that I had ordered it.

With the order I received end of last week I had ordered https://www.fasttech.com/p/1387600.

All 5 of them were just horrible bad coils choking off the wick so it was dry hit after dry hit. Today I recoiled one of them with 5 wraps 32 gauge kanthal and cotton wick. It is vaping like a dream.

All I can suggest is use these as the base carcas of evod heads to build decent coils on. Spare parts works as well.

Good to know! I've just been giving mine a good alcohol soak, but I do intend to make coils for them =]

Yeah I always clean everything well before using. The problem here was the coils were wrapped so tight it was actually choking off and cutting the wick. So juice just wasn't getting to the coils well enough.

For the price they are perfectly fine as cheap hardware to build good coils on but I wouldn't count on the stock coils from fasttech to be any good.

Sorry to hear. I have purchased a few packs for use and rebuilding. So far mine seem to be working fine.......once they start wicking on their own.

You are funny.
I'm sure she is just grateful you are not smoking.
Give her a hug for me.
I've been widowed for 7 years and am here to tell you that this is not important. It will pass.
again I say, hug her and thank her for being supportive.

My replacement evod coils from fT work great after a nice warm bath.
I guess I got lucky w/ my batch.
I couldn't rebuild one if my life depended on it, so I will just thank Lady Luck.

I've been using Fasttech's other premade coils since they came out. They have all worked fine if you don't mind silica. I make my own, but when the arthritis flares up I can get my hubby to tighten the screws down for a Fasttech coil, since he certainly won't make them for me! LOL

I ordered the 2.5ohm 5pk back when I started. They measured out as described and seemed ok but needed wick removal even with 70/30. Now that I can build by own I'm probably just redo them as needed.
